Things to Know:

Library Books:

We have library day every Friday. It has been rumored that some students are afraid to take their library books home out of concern that they may be missing the next "treasure chest" day. You will always get advanced notice about treasure chest days, and they will always coincide with a larger break from school (i.e. the next treasure chest day will be the Friday before Spring Break). Encourage your child to bring library books home, read them, and then return them at any time the following week! :-)

Classroom Wish List:

So many of you were kind enough to ask if there was anything our classroom needs while we met at conferences last night! Throughout the year, I add to my own amazon "school list" of things that I plan on buying for the classroom. On it, there are maintenance items such as small eraser pads for our whiteboards, magic eraser sponges, and other things that our classroom just needs to function. I did, however, add some other items that would be nice to have such as new books and things to keep our choice time bins exciting! If you are interested, you can visit the list on amazon here. Thank you so much!
